This volume presents items from an exhibition at the Vittoriano Museum Complex in Rome from October 2005 to January 2006, sponsored by the Vicariate and the Rome Municipality, that gathers
together documents (parish newspapers, cyclostyles, posters, leaflets, brochures, and other items); objects; b&w photos; and quotes and excerpts from the writings of Pope John Paul II to
illustrate his relationship with Rome. It traces his early days when he trained as a priest, his election as Pope and his pastoral and parish visits, his visits with the young and the sick, and
traditional rites and feast days. Text is presented in both English and Italian. Distributed in the US by International Publishers Marketing (IPM). Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland,
